Spring is in the Air in 2007

The rain that came through Australia about 2 weeks before spring was so very needed. This week the whole landscape is responding and the countryside looks fantastic. The mango trees have their flowers forming and the blueberries are starting to turn that dark purple colour. The citrus are covered in flowers and so are the peaches and plums. Also the mulberry trees leaves look very healthy and some mulberries look like they will start to turn black. The passion fruit vines seem to have doubled in size since the rain.

All in all we are very excited about spring in 2007. The conditions are perfect to help the plants that suffered from this years big frosts get back on their trunks.

Western Australia - Mail Order Fruit Trees

Daleys Fruit Tree Nursery will now mail order to Western Australia.

To satisfy your quarantine requirements all the plants need to be sprayed and a member of the DPI is required to check all the plants for pests. Therefore there is an extra charge called "Spraying, Packing and Quarantine" which starts at $25 per order and increases depending on the number of fruit trees you order.

To find out exactly how much it will cost to send to your address simply add the fruit trees you want and enter your postcode. All the costs are displayed for you online.

Orders to W.A will be sent every 2nd month or perhaps more frequently depending on the number of orders we receive.

Cape Trib Exotic Fruit Farm

If you are ever going up to the top of Australia near Cape Trib then you have to go to the Cape Trib Exotic Fruit Farm.

They have a bed and breakfast on the edge of the Daintree Rainforest but what I like best is that on their farm they grow 150 species of exotic fruit species many of which we have here at Daleys. They use WWOOFAS to help maitain over 2000 fruit trees.

Each Day at 2pm you are invited to taste at least 10 of these exotic fruits depending on the time of the year.

Definitely on my list of places I must visit before I die.
